Donald Trump in 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York'
According to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York director Chris Columbus, Donald Trump "bullied his way into the movie" so they could film inside the Plaza Hotel.
The ex-president allegedly said: "The only way you can use the Plaza is if I’m in the movie."
But Trump denied the claims in a Truth Social post, writing: "Nothing could be further from the truth. That cameo helped make the movie a success, but if they felt bullied, or didn’t want me, why did they put me in, and keep me there, for over 30 years? Because I was, and still am, great for the movie, that’s why! Just another Hollywood guy from the past looking for a quick fix of Trump publicity for himself!"
